I posted this first on the Apache mailing list, one person mentioned as this is mod_perl related I should post it here, so here it is.
I have just started upgrading all of my CentOS servers from 6.X to 7.X, with that Apache gets upgraded from 2.2 to 2.4, but it seems mod_perl has not increased the version number.
While I have fixed most of the issues realted to the upgrade of Apache one I cannot solve is the "PerlAuthenHandler Authen::Simple::IMAP" in .htaccess files.
I use this rather frequently on many machines as it is real easy for me to look after this.
Using apache 2.2 this used to work like a charm with an .htaccess file in the directory to protect:
satisfy any
Order deny,allow
deny from all
AuthName "Protected by IMAP credentials"
AuthType Basic
require user USER1 USER2
PerlAuthenHandler Authen::Simple::IMAP
PerlSetVar AuthenSimpleIMAP_host "CENTRAL.IMAPS.SERVER.HOST.NAME"
PerlSetVar AuthenSimpleIMAP_protocol "IMAPS"
allow from localhost
allow from THESERVER
I re-wrote this for apache 2.4 (not repeating the perl stuff which is the same in both) but same .htaccess file
<RequireAll>
Require user USER1 USER2
# do not turn this off, or else this will not work.
Require ip 127.0.0.1
Require host localhost
Require host THESERVER
</RequireAll>
In the server's httpd.conf file I have:
PerlRequire /etc/httpd/conf/startup.pl
which contains this:
#!/bin/env /usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Authen::Simple::IMAP;
1;
This loads with no error messages (this also means mod_perl is working).
The problem really is:
==> error_log <==
failed to resolve handler Authen::Simple::IMAP
failed to resolve handler Authen::Simple::IMAP
failed to resolve handler Authen::Simple::IMAP
failed to resolve handler Authen::Simple::IMAP
The browser page displays a "Secure connection failed" which is crap as the certificate and everything is in perfect condition.
How can I make this work with apache 2.4?
What am I doing wrong?
thanks
